SRC Evaluation Form Results‏

Dear all,

Here are the results of the SRC Evaluation Form. We will be discussing the comments we received as a council and will get back to the students on that as soon as possible.

First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who took part in the survey. We are very thankful for all the feedback we received.

IMPORTANT: There is something I would like to request though - some of the cases were said to be unresolved - as a council we would like to know what it was, especially me, so that I can find out why it was not resolved. Other than that I would like to remind all students that they should always feel free to approach any council member, me included, anytime if they have any problems - even if they consider the problem to be small (such as the water coolers not working) and regardless of batch. We are intent on helping all students when we can.

SRC isn't your last resort, it is your first. So please do come and approach us anytime.

Without further ado, the results of the survey.

Dear all,


With great pleasure and much anticipation, I welcome you to appreciate an adaptation of the Greek tragedy Oedipus the King by the ME108 Humanities selective students.

Please make your booking with Suhaila Naema (017 6790922) or Nurul Aifaa (012 9781473). Tickets will be distributed and must be produced for admission into the Audi as seats are limited to 200.

Canteen Meeting Summary: Jumbo and Sri Emas‏

Dear all,

Here is the summary of the recent canteen committee meeting (Tuesday, 8th of December). We are often very demanding of the operators and are always open to them on the feedback we receive from students, and they are always receptive of what we have to tell them.

Having said that, they too have requests for students, which is really only reminders of things that have been said before.

As always, you can find this at the Treasurers blog page, along with summaries of the previous canteen meetings.


What is required from students

Please do not use the cafeterias utensils when having outside food as it is an unfair cost to them.

There are areas allocated for students to eat outside food. Please do not consume outside food in the cafe as that area is managed by the cafe operators who are renting the premise (meaning that it is paid for by them).

Please help to clear up the tables when you finished your meal. Jumbo has placed collection bins/trolley for used crockery/cultery in strategic location around the cafe. This is to help improve the speed of the queue by lessening the manpower needed for cleaning.


Jumbo

They are recalibrating the cashier box to make it more efficient and precise. They have also replaced the cashier due to complaints from students.

They are going to sort out the pricing of the different bain marie's so that students are aware which one is the one that is priced at RM 3.80 for 2 vege + 1 meat, and the prices of the other one.
To shorten queues they will implement a number system where students can immediately order and pay.
Price list will be sent to SRC to put on display for all students on the SRC blog.
If students want to request a special menu they can do so through SRC who will then pass it to Jumbo to see if it is feasible.
Every 2 months they will change the chef to bring a different taste so that it will not always seem the same.
They will work on staff attitude towards students.
SRC will promote any specials they are having to students through the SRC blog and email.
The cafe will now close at 6pm.
Staff were reminded to wear masks, hair nets and gloves at all times.
They now have a tea time selection which is
Curry Puff - RM 0.50
Spring Roll - RM 0.50
Kuih (5 different flavors) -RM 0.60 each
Sandwich (egg mayo/tuna) - RM 2
Sausage roll - RM 1.50

Sri Emas

It was suggested that they review pricing for the chicken rice and to introduce a cheaper alternative available. They have agreed to provide an option of plain rice to oil rice.
Pure Chinese-styled vegetarian meals to be introduced starting January. (even the pots they'll be cooked in will be different).

Will propose tea sets to the team for eg.

Goreng pisang with tea

Hot deserts

De Brio
Not present.


Warmest regards,
